Will you marry me (on TV)?

11 memorable on-screen proposalsBy Kenny HerzogSpecial to MSN TVIt isn't easy dating a smart, ambitious, stubborn and sensitive woman like
"Parks and Recreation"
city councilwoman Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler). And as her doting,
patient boyfriend, Ben Wyatt (Adam Scott), learned earlier this
season, asking for her hand in marriage is even more daunting. Ben managed the
first part OK, flying in from D.C. and sneaking up behind Leslie as she looked
around the house they'd intended to buy but seemingly had to give up. Problem
was, once his knee hit the hardwood, Leslie could barely let him get a romantic
word in edgewise, on account of her nervousness and desire to remember every
nanosecond of the moment. In the end, he asked, she answered, and it was a
sweet, decidedly un-cloying sitcom moment.Naturally, this got us thinking about other scripted proposals in recent
television lore. So from the farcical ("The Office") to the sweet ("Sex and the
City") to the just plain doomed ("Dexter"), here are 11 unforgettable times when
that proverbial question was popped &#8212; and, thankfully, accepted.Bing:More about 'Parks and Recreation' |
